ABC Family called Melissa & Joey starring Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence, I would have told you that your local village was missing it's idiot. I was not a fan of her Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and I wasn't a fan of his Blossum. Whoa! The premise is just corny enough to work. Mel Burke (Hart) is a local politician from a political family. When a family scandal leaves her niece, Lennox (Spreitler), and nephew, Ryder (Robinson), without their parents, Mel takes them in. Meanwhile, Joe Longo (Lawrence) is a former commodities trader left bankrupt after a Ponzi scheme who is searching for a job. So when Mel finds it hard to handle an instant family and her own life, she hires Joe to become the family's new male nanny, or "manny". Hollywood and TV producers have been playing this gender-bending card ever since Mr. Mom. It was funny then, it's still funny today.
The two leads have some great chemistry while on screen and I believe the little "will-they-or-won't-they" relationship they've got going on. So far, the writers have done a good job by not getting them together and Melissa Hart has stated in some interviews that they won't be getting together for a long, long time. So it appears that they will get together eventually. Right now, there are undertones of a budding romance (jealousy, looks, long pauses), but for now, they're both fun and fancy-free with their own suitors.
One of the show's main problems is the kids. Aren't they a little too old to be having a nanny? Plenty of kids even younger than them come home to an empty house while their parents are working. It's not like Joe needs to bathe and clothe them. Having the kids this old this early in a sitcom is not good news. They are going to age fast, then what becomes of Joe? You don't want to lose your sitcom's dynamic after only one season.
For now, though, the jokes are funny enough to get me to watch it. I like having Mel & Joe treat each other as "sparring partners" rather than lovers. Once they get together, it just may be the end of the show. More reviews at www.soveryterry.com Final Grade: B- I actually look forward to watching ABC Family because of this show,Its nice to see a couple on TV with as much chemistry as Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence. Taylor Spreitler and Nick Robinson add fresh faces and believable characters to an already awesome cast. Love watching the characters develop and come into their own. They actually tackle everyday family issues but without having to revert to terribly fake conversations you often saw characters have in 90's sitcoms. I grew up learning more from Mr. Feeny than I did from most of my teachers until I got to College, this show gives me hope the world will be filled with more Aunt Mel's than Kim Kardashians.
